when we look at texas, for example. texas photo i.d. laws do not permit an individual to use their veterans i.d. to vote. does not permit an individual to use a student i.d. to vote. but it does permit individuals with concealed carry gun licenses to vote. in fact, these laws are not these uniform, neutral laws as are suggested. they are written in a very specific way to exclude specific populations having access to the polls and that's what makes them suppressive. >> i'm sorry, but that is simply not true. the reason that texas does not include a student i.d. is for the simple reason something that came up in the presidential race because colleges in texas not only allow illegal aliens to attend school, they provide them with in-state tuition. in georgia they allow a student i.d. to be used and that's because they don't have that same provision. >> ifill: we're going to have to continue this conversation at about time. mr. hans von spakovsky from the heritage foundation, keesha gaskin from the brennan center. thank you both very much.

where i was wrong, i've tried to correct myself. >> sreenivasan: texas governor rick perry, meanwhile, made an unusual appeal to religious voters, likening himself to denver broncos quarterback tim tebow, whose born-again christian faith has been well publicized. >> i hope i am the tim tebow of the iowa caucuses. >> sreenivasan: with recent polls in iowa showing the race there narrowing, the contest could still be anyone's game. >> lehrer: and to the analysis of shields and brooks-- syndicated columnist mark shields, "new york times" columnist david brooks. ings mark, last night, gingrich was clear the major tearing of just about everybody. how did he go through it? >> well, jim, there's a great question. if it's a two-candidate race, it's shields against brooks, shields attacks brooks, and either brooks benefits from the attack or he's hurt by the attack. but when you get lehrer in and get seven people, and the attack is made, then you don't know who the beneficiary is. in other words, romney did not go after gingrich last night. >> mary: he stayed away. >> michele bachmann i thought

and republican senator kay bailey hutchison of texas. senator brown, why is this so important to have and why is richard cordray the right person to lead it? >> i probably know richard cordray better than any member of the senate. i knew hem when he was state fresh ruhr, attorney general and now at the bureau. he is qualified... imminently qualified and that's what republicans democrat and democrats alike including the former republican senator from ohio mike dewine, now the attorney general of it and other have endorsed him and banks and credit unions. it matters because we know what happened in the financial crisis and we need a consumer cop on the beat. we need somebody responsive, somebody that will stand up to wall street, somebody that will stand up for consumers and why would we not do that and want a good strong independent voice representing people who have been hurt by the this financial crisis? >> woodruff: senator hutchison, why is that the wrong argument and why is cord ray not the right person? >> we are not arguing about m

for example, in texas, you can use a gun permit i.d. but you cannot use a student i.d., even if it is issued from a state university. so there are some cases where there's some questions about why laws were drafted the way that they are. in other states where they have less strict laws about this thing, these things, you can provide other forms of identification, things like a social security card or a bill, utility bill that kind of thing, but the ones that the people who were opposed to these laws most concerned about are the ones that ask for very specific, very strict forms of i.d. a lot of people when i'm talking to them about this story say what is the big deal, why don't you just go to the dmv and get an i.d., many states, they say they will give them away for freeze, you don't have to pay anything, but what people are finding it is not that easy, before you can go to the dm. >> have you need a birth certificate, if you are a woman who has been married, you need your marriage license if your name has changed, you have been divorc

. >> host: jeff is on the phone, hemp stead, texas. go ahead, please. >> caller: thank you very much for taking my call. i liked the article you wrote, mr. brooks, previous to the 2008 presidential election called the class war before palin in which i think you made a very astute observation that in john mccain's choosing sarah palin as his running mate, it was an implicit endorsement of a trend in the republican party, specifically in conservativism to, basically, alienate the intellectual class as the intellectual class and embrace a governing from the gut rather than governing from the mind approach to politics which i personally find problematic. and i'd like you to kind of update that article that you wrote given the current presidential, the current republican presidential contenders, specifically the rise of newt gingrich who is an intellectual of sorts and to, basically, speak to that issue. thank you very much. >> guest: thank you. yeah, what i objected to, i mentioned -- let's put it this way, i mentioned that one of my mento
